Kisses and Selfies
Five cups of coffee a day to waken me
to keep me from nodding off
the eyes of a 68 year old
the energy of a sloth
Hair tied up in a bun.
if my scrunchie falls out, they'll know.
They'll know of the mop of hair on my head
They'll know of the untamable curls i never want to show
Facebook pictures of food and chocolate
of me stuffing my face
but when Im not out with friends
im never saying grace
Instagram pictures of friends
of family and fun
but 6 days out of 7
im as alone as the number one
wall posts of jokes
friends' comments of missing me
but in conversations were lifeless
we never hangout, actually
My life looks together
they'll never know its an act
im as clumsy, stressed, and messy as the next college senior
but my happiness is a fact
